FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas women’s basketball team will start SEC play with the team that bounced the Razorbacks from the SEC Tournament last season.

Arkansas will have nine days after its final nonconference game before traveling to face Ole Miss on Dec. 30. The Razorbacks lost 69-60 to Ole Miss in the SEC Tournament, after defeating the Rebels 84-74 in Walton Arena during the regular season.

Arkansas closes nonconference play against Creighton on Dec. 21 in Walton Arena.

The Razorbacks host Tennessee on Jan. 2 in Walton Arena in the league home opener. Arkansas will play five out of its first eight games at home, hosting Missouri (Jan. 9), South Carolina (Jan. 16), Mississippi State (Jan. 23) and LSU (Jan. 27), in addition to the Lady Vols.

Arkansas faces Tennessee, Missouri and Mississippi State twice. The Razorbacks travel to take on former Arkansas coach Gary Blair and Texas A&M on Feb. 3.
